The Tyrone Igneous Complex of Northern Ireland has been a target for base and precious metal exploration since the 1970s. Historic exploration was hampered by poor exposure and consequently a limited understanding of the local geology. Extensive new field…

Using the Tellus and Tellus Border geochemistry data, the distribution of metals in topsoils in and around Derry–Londonderry has been mapped and assessed. The concentrations of metals have been compared with the UK Environment Agency’s Soil Guideline Valu…

This review paper discusses how Tellus and Tellus Border soil and stream geochemistry data have been used to investigate the spatial relationship between certain diseases and levels of potentially harmful elements (PHEs) in soils and water. The research h…

Soil geochemistry may be applied in the science of geoforensics in two ways: to establish the provenance of samples and to inform the question of sample variability. Tellus data can assist in answering on a broad scale the provenance question, ‘where may …

The Palaeogene Mourne Mountains Complex in County Down is a potential geothermal energy resource due to the high levels of radioactivity in its granitic rocks. The regional Tellus geochemical and geophysical surveys mapped the radioelement distribution of…

Knowing the background or threshold concentrations of different elements in soil is essential in assessing whether or not a concentration is anomalous. Various methods have been applied to defining thresholds and it is important in applying the results of…

When an Ireland-wide project to undertake detailed geochemical and geophysical coverage was first discussed at the turn of the 21st century by the Geological Surveys of the UK, the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland and the USA, the original acronym gi…

Although a local origin of Irish Bronze Age gold artifacts has never been confirmed, the widespread distribution of gold particles in stream gravels suggests a local bedrock origin. Significant bedrock mineralisation was discovered in County Monaghan in t…

The statistical process of ‘self-modelling mixture resolution’ has been used to identify chemical signatures of diffuse pollution in the topsoil samples of the Tellus Border geochemical survey, Ireland. Seventeen geochemical components were identified, of…

There is global concern about the availability of ‘critical’ metals: those of growing economic importance but vulnerable to supply shortage. Production from domestic resources could contribute to security of supply. However, we have little information on …
